Using RenderedGeometry as path data doesn't work
I want to draw a simple Path
one that uses RenderedGeometry
for Polygon
both Data
.
Polygon polygon = new Polygon();
polygon.Points = new PointCollection { new Point(0, 0), new Point(0, 100), new Point(150, 150) };
var path = new Path
{
Data = polygon.RenderedGeometry,
Stroke = Brushes.LightBlue,
StrokeThickness = 2,
Fill = Brushes.Green,
Opacity = 0.5
};
Panel.SetZIndex(path, 2);
canvas.Children.Add(path);
However mine Canvas
doesn't display anything.

You must make the geometry render before going to Canvas
. You can do this by calling methods Arrange
and Measure
Polygon
:
Polygon polygon = new Polygon();
polygon.Points = new PointCollection { new Point(0, 0), new Point(0, 100), new Point(150, 150) };
polygon.Arrange(new Rect(canvas.RenderSize));
polygon.Measure(canvas.RenderSize);
var path = new Path
{
Data = polygon.RenderedGeometry,
Stroke = Brushes.LightBlue,
StrokeThickness = 2,
Fill = Brushes.Green,
Opacity = 0.5
};
Panel.SetZIndex(path, 2);
canvas.Children.Add(path);

You cannot use the Polygon element to define the geometry of the path.
Instead, create PathGeometry
like this:
var figure = new PathFigure
{
StartPoint = new Point(0, 0),
IsClosed = true
};
figure.Segments.Add(new PolyLineSegment
{
Points = new PointCollection { new Point(0, 100), new Point(150, 150) },
IsStroked = true
});
var geometry = new PathGeometry();
geometry.Figures.Add(figure);
var path = new Path
{
Data = geometry,
Stroke = Brushes.LightBlue,
StrokeThickness = 2,
Fill = Brushes.Green,
Opacity = 0.5
};
Or directly create geometry from string using Path Markup Syntax :
var path = new Path
{
Data = Geometry.Parse("M0,0 L0,100 150,150Z"),
Stroke = Brushes.LightBlue,
StrokeThickness = 2,
Fill = Brushes.Green,
Opacity = 0.5
};
